AJSA has made consistent efforts to counter inequities and injustices that are manifest in
the society around us. Over the two decades of working in rural Orissa, we find that while the nature
of inequities may have morphed from one form into another, the fundamentals persist.Our efforts on community mobilisation, Natural Resource Managment, and DRR activities has been praised by Govt. media and other mainstream development agencies,it's very proudful thing for a organisation like AJSA.

As the leadership and team of AJSA begin to move in new directions and apply new
strategies, they will need all the support of the well-wishers and donors of AJSA

I have enjoyed leading AJSA always from the front. This was because the great co-operation and
understanding that I received from the governing board members, my colleagues and the people with whom AJSA worked with.

From Last year i have been associated directly with AJSA.And my involvement ,I got the oppertunity to see the visible change in the lives of the people they have worked with. I therefore, am able to assess the impact from the grassroots. I have found the team members across the organization to be highly motivated and aligned to the cause. In addition, what i have found truly motivating is the positive attitude towards the goals of the organization, not only within but from partners across the board. I do believe that it is organizations such as AJSA that are creating lasting change in the lives of the fringe communities and wish them every success to reach their next target.
